Songs of Green Pheasant — Gyllyng Street
Each track is built well with melodic down turned melodies flowing free, they use a nice mix of old fashioned intresumentaion and their organic tones, mixes in sublet beat patterns and modern traces here and there, but it never makes it jarring or moving away from it’s tuneful glumness and organic pop song writing gold sheen. The instrumentation is built up in nice layers of swooping sound giving the whole album a feeling of mournful class all of its own. Subtle sound touches like found sound elements and interesting sound nudges are added in here and there, so it’s enjoyable as ear candy and for deeper listening too. The early on tracks stick more to shorter pop side, were the latter parts of the album tend more towards longer tracks which do introduced some lovely mournful streached out tones that hoover in bleak cinematic, lonesome jazz and ambience
A highly enjoyable album of bleak loveliness that can be taken either for its surface tuneful gloom or for deeper investigations of its many sound levels.
